Givenchy L'Interdit (1957/2018)

The story of Givenchy L'Interdit is one of fashion history. Originally created in 1957 by Francis Fabron as a personal fragrance for Hubert de Givenchy's muse, Audrey Hepburn, the name literally translates to 'The Forbidden.' It was a scent kept secret from the public until Hepburn finally gave her blessing for its release. In 2018, Givenchy breathed new life into the name with a completely modern composition. While the original 1957 version was an aldehydic floral, the 2018 Eau de Parfum serves as a bold, contemporary tribute. It captures the spirit of transgression, moving away from vintage powdery notes toward a powerful, addictive white floral profile that defines modern luxury.
